Can my Guinea Pig eat Peppers (Capsicum), Sweet Red?

Yes, they can eat it daily!




A delicious addition to a varied diet - guinea pigs should have a minimum of 5 leafy greens to make up their staple vegetable portion. High in vitamin C.


Capsicum is a great source of vitamin C, but should be fed in conjunction with leafy greens due to the higher sugar content.





 

Guinea pigs and rabbits should have a variety of at least 5 different types of leafy greens to protect against nutritional excesses and deficiencies. At least 80% of the diet should be a good quality grass or cereal hay.
